+Ibbo Posted May 7, 2023 Author Share Posted May 7, 2023 I have read its a one armed spiral galaxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Glafnazur Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 yes, it has only the one arm which is unusual. On the Spitzer site it says "This peculiar galaxy is thought to have only one spiral arm. Most spiral galaxies have two or more arms. Astronomers refer to NGC 4725 as a ringed barred spiral galaxy because a prominent ring of stars encircles a bar of stars at its center. Our own Milky Way galaxy sports multiple arms and a proportionally smaller bar and ring." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
